We wanted it to contain all the characteristic elements of our style, and to combine Riverside from the first decade, when we sounded a bit “heavier”, and Riverside from the second decade, the more melancholic-song-oriented one. The lyrics contain direct quotes and references to many of our previous song titles. To reflect that, the cover of the single, prepared by Travis Smith, also contains fragments of our past covers and graphic designs. “Story of My Dream” is the first song we recorded in the new line-up, with Maciej Meller. It’s also, in a way, a taste of the way we’re going to sound on our new, eighth album (scheduled for 2022). Although the single itself is not going to be on it, it will be the opening track of this year’s release, “Riverside 20”, containing remastered versions of some of our past compositions. In times of “retromania”, playlists, and all sorts of compilations, we thought it wouldn’t be the worst idea to mark our 20th anniversary with this kind of release. The compilation will be split into two parts called “The Shorts” and “The Longs”, and will showcase our career to date, summarising what we’ve done so far and preparing us all for the upcoming new album, which will open another music chapter for Riverside. What will the new album be like? You can find out in the lyrics to the new single, “Story of My Dream” :) “Story of My Dream” lyrics: So I wrote a lyric Ten years ago `Bout living in the past The decade has gone The world is upside down Half of it is burnt And the rest is flooded By Reptilians’ words The river is the same Even if we go against The stream of all denials And reality of dreams Waging culture wars We are getting used to us So maybe I will try To look good in red now I was alive, at first Later, I was sad Trying to fade out Voices in my head Amusing the crowds In a shelter mode I was lost and found After and before The river is the same Even if we go against The stream of all denials And reality of dreams Waging culture wars We are getting used to us So maybe I will try To look good in red now The river is the same Even if we go against The stream of all denials And reality of dreams Feeling overwhelmed By a grip of decadence But I cannot hide In the world that’ll never return In the world that’ll never return Waging culture wars We are getting used to us So maybe I will try To be out of myself now --- Follow InsideOutMusic here: Shop: EU: US: Twitter: EU: US: Spotify Prog Rock Playlist: Spotify Prog Metal Playlist:
